Exim config question
Just got a basic install running and during the course of setting mail
with the base-config tool, I think I answered something wrong but not
sure what would have been right. Or where to hand edit it.
I have a fair bit of experience with sendmail, but my first go around
with exim.
The details of my setup are:
Single user machine
dsl connected to internet thru local isp (dslextreme.com) and telco
Using local isp for smart_host
But pop server is newsguy.com not my local ip.
I think I got most of this set alright except when I send a mail to
myself at reader@newsguy.com, exim tells me it is delivering locally
and I have it back instantly. That is it never goes to newsguy, or
thru my smart_host.
I probably told exim to do that, but not sure what to change or where.
My user is reader on this machine. But newsguy.com is a commercial
online news/mail nntp/smtp/pop server.
With sendmail I've always masqueraded as newsguy.com and it all
worked.
I think it is actually working now except sending mail to myself a
reader@newsguy.com is just put directly into /var/spool/mail/reader
